I am fully on board with this ..."One of the most important tasks the engagement officers do on a weekly basis is checking up on those, who receive the highest votes from @steemstem (the list is usually published in the "steemSTEM Distilled" on Thursdays). Those who receive a lot of monetary support should also be those, who are an active part of the community."
However, as a relatively new member of the @steemstem community, can I ask a dumb question .... what is considered being an "active part of the community"? Should I be aiming for 10, 20 .. 50 replies/comments/questions and upvotes (where appropriate) per day on @steemstem posts? What is a reasonable target number?
There is no target and we contact the different users if there is any issue. As there are many ways to engage, it is difficult to tell. In any case, there is no quantitative assessment of the engagement. it is more a qualitative one that matters. I know I didn't answer the question, but I have actually no answer :)
Thank you @lemouth, I thought I should ask as I wondered if #steemstem had set up guidelines that I was not aware of. I fully appreciate that quality of engagement is more important than quantity.
We really prefer to work on a case by case basis here. Much easier and more appropriate.
